Luke Brown back in the transfer portal

This is like a Tik Tok version of Dawson’s Creek.
You just can’t wait for the next episode.

Does the Tik Tok girl transfer wherever Luke goes next?

Or have they been together all along and Luke just told her to keep him out of the videos while he was on the team?

I must say that I notice a certain amount of peevishness on this board towards Luke Brown.  I think this is ungrateful.  During the death throes of the Whitford era (possibly the dullest 9 years any program has ever experienced), the Luke phenomenon brought us Tik Tok girl, a local mafia facebook page, a typically stupid but uncharacteristically amusing series of columns by the bonehead Indy Star sports writer, significantly increased attendance for a few games, and he generally livened up a season that was otherwise yet another total waste of a year.

through the whole thing, I don't remember Luke himself doing or saying one single thing that was truly objectionable.  Yes, his attempts at dancing on Tik Tok were pretty embarrassing...but yet understandable.  When I was 18, a chick of that hotness level could have easily talked me into crawling 5 miles over broken glass, or any doing number of other ill-advised things.

Also Luke Brown is, for better or worse, a unique sort of player and thus it's not surprising that it might be difficult for him to find his best college fit.

Let's have some perspective on Luke Brown.

For me it wasn’t about the kid, it was about the sideshow and the hype (bsu fell into that trap too). It was almost like we were sold a bill of goods even though many of us were skeptical, and none of that was Brown’s fault. (He’s not innocent in the whole branding thing). The adults failed him in a lot of ways by propping him up as a future dominator of d1 college basketball/basketball god.  He’s just a kid. He had a great career at a very small school playing against other very small schools.  He may yet have a really good college career but so far he’s just been erstwhile.  I hope he finds a place where he and the coach and teammates are on board and he prospers.  That wasn’t the case with Whitford/teammates and then Lewis for whatever reasons.  I will say he’s gotta get beyond “I was told I’d get x playing time/his hangers on getting the idea “Luke was done wrong”” type stuff.  Enough of the nonsense, just go to school somewhere to get the degree and just play ball.  He does need to understand that unless he goes to a strongly religious affiliated school very few programs will have whatever perfect environment he’s looking for. 

That would be something new for us to try with our players and coaches.
